According to a filing by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), there are plans to launch a new exchange-traded fund that will be linked to the XRP token.
The filing mentioned the Kurv XRP Enhanced Income ETF, which has been set to come into effect on March 11, 2026. The filing has sparked some interest in the market as it implies that there is a move to launch regulated products linked to the XRP token in the conventional market.

Growing Interest in Crypto-Linked ETFs
This listing indicates a wider trend in traditional finance with asset managers considering crypto-linked ETFs and other exchange-traded products. In the last few years, several firms have been looking to launch investment vehicles linked to digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
There has been a rising interest in products linked to the altcoin due to ongoing developments in regulatory clarity surrounding the asset class. It has been noted that ETFs may enable investors to gain exposure to crypto assets through regulated financial instruments rather than owning crypto assets directly.
What an “Enhanced Income” ETF Means
Usually, enhanced income ETFs come with both asset exposure and income-generating strategies. The strategies may include options strategies, among other financial instruments, which help generate additional income for investors.
In the proposed ETF of XRP, the strategies may include investing in the altcoin assets while implementing other financial strategies such as income-focused derivatives strategies, which may include generating additional income while maintaining exposure to the assets, among other strategies, as may be indicated in the final prospectus of the proposed ETF.
